Additional information

Degree Overview

We have two four-year Economics courses: a BSc and an MA. The main differences between these are at Levels 1 and 2. We also have a three and a half year Economics – accelerated BSc (Hons) with a January start date available for Rest of UK and EU/International students.

Choose the BSc Economics route if your interests lean more towards management, mathematics, computing and the physical science based subjects.

Economists examine how societies attempt to make the best use of their scarce resources, so that they can advise governments, individuals, and companies on how to improve decisions and outcomes.

Traditionally economists advise on investment, inflation, interest rates, and production. Increasingly however, economics takes a wider focus with many economists examining climate change, inequality, and improving healthcare.

Study Reasons

In the recent graduate outcomes data, it shows around 30% of our economics graduates moving into financial and insurance sectors, 20% in professional roles which include things like accountancy, marketing, and advertising.

We can see graduates of economics carving out successful careers in marketing, sales, and business development, across all sectors and industries. And in other business support departments such as HR, recruitment, personnel, training/development. This is due to the wide and varied education.

Large numbers also choose to work in the public sector, local and national Governments, and third sector organisations. And numbers very much growing towards sustainability-related roles and other roles in environmental areas of business.
